"I recently shared my disgruntlement about the appalling price of razor blades. Here&amp;#39;s part two of the rant: Why the heck does a reusable razor have to be so solidly encased on plastic packaging that I practically need a jackhammer, chain saw and blowtorch to get at it?\nPinterestFacebookHonestly, it would be easier to cut yourself while wrestling with all that horrible hard-plastic packaging than on the razor itself. And disposable razors come in regular cellophane bags, which must be at least a little bit better for the planet, so why can&amp;#39;t the reusables be similarly packaged? Even the razors themselves seem to use a highly excessive amount of plastic.\nMy razor-packaging pet peeve came to mind today when I read about a trend called &amp;quot;precycling&amp;quot;. According to The Beauty Counter blog, consumers are starting to reject products that have superfluous packaging, and beauty-industry execs are taking note of the trend. Maybe that means we&amp;#39;ll see some razor-packaging reform soon?\nAre you a &amp;quot;precycler,&amp;quot; and if so, have you boycotted any products because of their environmentally unfriendly packaging? Do you recycle your empty bottles and jars? And have any of you incurred serious injuries while attempting to liberate a new razor from its plastic encasement?\nPhoto: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
